This^^^paragraph is the money quote...It's all that needs to be said...

I mean R Kelly just released one of his best albums in years (2010's Love Letter) and it's still not even gold...

Should we shit on Kells because he didn't go platinum? Nope...Should we shit on him because he's no longer getting played on the younger "current" radio stations and is getting most of his play on the older skewed radio stations? Nope

But according to brother Maxx, we should when it comes to other artists...

Irony, no?
